But perhaps my memory on that is faulty.
In the grand scheme of things, no matter, because:
Perhaps you also heard about the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission's action about Krell amplifiers catching fire, while Krell was 100% American owned. And the CPCC recall says those amps were made in the USA, and I assume that the CPCC knew what they were talking about.
